This section contains the following topics

Upgrading the License Server (see page 13) Setting Up a Concurrent License (see page 14) Using a Concurrent License (see page 22) Using a Local License (see page 28)

Upgrading the License Server

If you are using an older version of the license server, upgrade the license server to use the new concurrent licensing feature.

Follow these steps:

1. Back up erwin DM r8 licenses in the Install folder of the license server. The licenses are stored in the following path of the Install folder:

\erwin DM License Administrator\licenses\erwinmod

4. Click erwin, erwin License Administrator, Start License Server to start the license server.

The license server is started.

5. Import the backed up erwin DM r8 licenses to the license server.

The license server is successfully upgraded.

Setting Up a Concurrent License



Your organization plans to use erwin DM with the concurrent licensing model. In this model, licenses are stored in a server (License Server). When you set up licenses on the License Server, you create a web service to communicate with the erwin DM instances that users open.

The following diagram illustrates how to set up concurrent licenses:

Perform the following tasks to set up a concurrent license:

1. Review the prerequisites (see page 15).

2. Contact erwin Customer Care and get the license (see page 15).

3. Edit the license file (see page 15).

4. Install the License Server (see page 16).

5. Create the License Server service (see page 16).

6. Start the License Server service (see page 16).

7. (Optional) Change the Port Number (see page 17).

8. Import the license (see page 18).

9. (Optional) Edit the Options File (see page 19).



Review Prerequisites

To use the concurrent licensing model, install the License Server.

Review the following prerequisites:

■ Select a computer in your local network or in a remote location.

■ Verify that the computer meets the system requirements.

■ Verify that the computer has enough disk space to archive log files.

Contact erwin Customer Care and Get the License

Contact erwin Customer Care by telephone or the web licensing form with the following items to receive your license files:

■ Name of the License Server

After you receive license files, copy them to a folder on the License Server.

Note: To get the MAC address, log on to erwin License Administrator and click the System Information tab. You can also open the Windows command prompt on the License Server and type IPCONFIG /ALL.

Edit the License File

If you change the License Server name, edit the license file and include the new name.

Note: erwin® Data Modeler opens only after you include the new name in the license file.

Follow these steps:

1. Locate and edit the license file.

Typically, the name of the license file is in the (license number) (Edition name) (“server” MAC address).lic format. For example, 111111-2222 Workgroup (server xxxxxxxxxxx).lic.

2. Go to the line that starts with SERVER and change the name.

Note: The SERVER line displays the computer name with a MAC address or any other node-locking identifier that you use. If you use only the computer name as the identifier, you cannot edit the file; contact erwin Customer Care to get a new license.

3. Save the changes.

The Vendor Daemon is restarted and the changes you have made to the license options file come into effect.



Troubleshoot Borrowed Licenses

Symptom

erwin DM does not open with a borrowed license.

Solution

The reason for erwin DM not opening with a borrowed license is using different names in the license files.

Follow these steps:

1. Connect to the License Server and open the license files that you have imported into your License Server.

2. Verify if the name in the SERVER line is same in all the license files.

Typically the name is the computer name, localhost, or this_host.

3. If the names are different, change the names to make them consistent.

4. Import the licenses again.

Using a Concurrent License



This section describes how erwin DM users can use a concurrent license with erwin DM Standard Edition or Workgroup Edition.

Note: Before you start this procedure, your System Administrator must set up the License Server and import the license to it. You have the License Server details and know which edition to use.

In the concurrent licensing model, licenses are stored in a License Server. You check out a license to use erwin DM; when you close the application, the license is checked in. The License Server increases or decreases the count of available licenses by one when you check in or check out a license.

Note: If all the licenses are checked out, you cannot open another instance of erwin DM.

When using erwin DM, if you lose connection to the License Server, the License Server recovers the license and erwin DM closes. The recovery happens after four hours of disconnection and several warning messages.

The following diagram illustrates how to use erwin DM with the concurrent licensing model:



Perform the following tasks to use concurrent licenses:

1. Review the System Requirements.

2. Install erwin DM.

3. Open erwin DM and Provide the License Server Details.

4. Select a License for the Current Session (see page 25).

5. Borrow a License (see page 26).



Review the System Requirements

Review the system requirements for the computer on which you want to install erwin DM.

Verify that you have installed one of the following operating systems:

■ Microsoft Windows Vista SP2

■ Microsoft Windows Server 2008 SP2, R2

■ Microsoft Windows 7 SP1

■ Microsoft Windows 8.1

■ Microsoft Windows 10

■ Microsoft Windows Server 2012, R2

■ Microsoft Windows Server 2016

The following requirements must be met or exceeded for erwin Data Modeler to install and run correctly:

■ Microsoft-based workstation, Intel Dual Core processor or equivalent

■ 5 GB available hard drive space

■ 4 GB RAM minimum; more is recommended for larger models

■ DVD-readable device (only if installing from DVD media)

Note: The minimum screen resolution supported is 1024 x 768. If your screen resolution is less than the minimum supported, some portions of the screen will not be visible.



Install erwin DM

Install erwin DM to create, update, and maintain conceptual, logical, physical, and dimensional models. For the Workgroup Edition, install erwin DM on each computer that accesses Mart. Install erwin DM using the same executable file for Standard and Workgroup Editions.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to the computer where you want to install the product as an Administrator user.

If you run an install without Administrative privileges, all files may not be installed or upgraded, and users can encounter problems when running the software.

2. Do one of the following tasks:

■ Insert the installation DVD

■ Download the erwin.exe file from the online erwin product page and run it.

The Installation Wizard opens.


The program files are copied and erwin DM is installed.

Note: You can install erwin DM Navigator from the erwin.exe file or from a separate Navigator.exe file.

Select a License for the Current Session

If you are using a concurrent license, when you close erwin DM or disconnect from your network, your license is checked in to the License Server. When you launch erwin DM again, select the license you want to use for that session.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Start, erwin, erwin Data Modeler.

The erwin DM Licensing dialog appears.

2. Select one of the following options and click OK:

Acquire concurrent Workgroup Edition license

Connects to the License Server and acquires a concurrent license for the Workgroup Edition. Suppose the Workgroup Edition license is not available. If you have purchased the Standard Edition license, then select If unavailable, attempt to acquire a concurrent Standard Edition license. A concurrent Standard Edition license is checked out, if available.



Acquire concurrent Standard Edition license

Connects to the License Server and acquires a concurrent license for the Standard Edition.

3. Enter the path for your License Server in the Server Path field in the port@hostname or port@IP address format. Click OK.

Example: 27000@remotecomp1, [email protected]

erwin DM opens.

Note: If no license is available, erwin DM Academic Edition opens.

You have selected a concurrent license to use erwin DM.

When you borrow a license, the License Administrator Dashboard the number of licenses that are borrowed for each edition. The Dashboard also displays a number under erwin DM. Here, erwin DM represents a license that is acquired from the erwin License Administrator. After a license is successfully acquired, the License Administrator continues to acquire a Workgroup Edition or Standard Edition license. erwin DM represents the sum of all licenses acquired from the erwin License Administrator. The erwin DM count does not include the licenses that have been borrowed.

Borrow a License

If you use the concurrent licensing model, you can borrow licenses to use erwin DM on mobile devices that support erwin DM. When you borrow a license, the license rights are available on your local computer. erwin DM opens using the borrowed license when you are not connected to the License Server.

You can borrow a license from the Licensing dialog at the time of opening erwin DM.

Note: To borrow a Navigator license, specify the server path that has a valid erwin DM Navigator license.

Follow these steps to borrow a license at the time of opening erwin DM:

1. Open erwin DM.

The erwin® Data Modeler Licensing dialog appears.

2. Click Acquire concurrent use Workgroup Edition license or Acquire concurrent use Standard Edition license.



3. In the Server Path field, type the license server details.

This Server Path detail is reflected in the Help, Licensing dialog.

4. Select the Return Date checkbox and specify the return date and time.

5. (Optional) Select the Remember the licensing options and do not show this dialog again checkbox.

6. Click OK.

A license is checked out from the License Server and the rights are available on your local computer.

To return a license before it expires, start erwin DM and enter the server path in the erwin Data Modeler Licensing dialog. After erwin DM opens, click Help, Licensing, and then click Return Borrowed Licenses Early.

Note: If a license expires or is returned before it expires, you have four hours of buffer time to save your work. After four hours of the expiry of the license, erwin DM closes. Similarly, if you lose the connection to the License Server, the License Server recovers the license and erwin DM closes. The recovery happens after four hours of disconnection and several warning messages.

When the license expires, one of the following events happen:

■ If the client computer is connected to the License Server and a concurrent license is available, erwin DM checks out a license. If no concurrent license is available, a warning dialog appears and erwin DM closes after four hours.

■ If the client computer is not connected to the License Server, erwin DM notifies users about the loss of connectivity with the License Server.

Using a Local License



Use a local license if one of the following requirements applies:

■ You are the only user of erwin Data Modeler.

■ You want to use erwin Data Modeler on a specific computer.
